 74562 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 238 / Tuesday, December 12, 2006 / Notices
published in the Federal Register on
October 4, 2006 (71 FR 58632).
In the request for reconsideration, the
Union alleges that the Department’s
initial investigation did not include all
of the articles produced at the subject
firm. The determination states that the
subject worker group produces calcium
fluoride crystals.
Based on a careful review of
previously-submitted documents, the
Department determines on
reconsideration that during the relevant
period (May 2005 through May 2006),
the subject workers produced more than
one line of crystals and are not
separately identifiable by product line.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Union asserted that
cadmium, calcium fluoride, magnesium
fluoride, lithium fluoride, and barium
fluoride products were produced by the
subject firm (August 17, 2006 letter) and
that workers produced cadmium
tungstate until ‘‘Saint Gobain Crystals
made the decision to transfer this
operation to India’’ (September 14, 2006
letter).
According to a company official,
calcium fluoride has been the only
product produced in significant volume
at the subject facility since April 2005.
Calcium fluoride constitutes about 90%
of subject facility production. The
remaining percentage of production at
the subject facility during the relevant
period consisted of magnesium fluoride,
lithium fluoride, barium fluoride, lead
chlorine, lead bromide and cadmium
tungstate.
The company official also stated that
cadmium tungstate production ceased
in May 2005 and was shifted to India.
The shift was completed in November
2005. When the cadmium tungstate
production ceased, workers were shifted
to other crystal lines, including the
calcium fluoride line. Cadmium
tungstate sales were a minuscule
fraction (less than 0.24%) of calcium
fluoride sales.
Production of the remaining products
(magnesium fluoride, lithium fluoride,
barium fluoride, lead chlorine, lead
bromide, and calcium fluoride) ceased
at the end of September 2006 and the
subject facility will be completely
closed by the end of 2006.
The Department has determined that
the predominant cause of worker
separations at the subject facility is not
related to increased imports or a shift of
production abroad. The subject facility’s
customers were foreign entities and all
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
sales were shipped abroad.
Furthermore, the subject firm is leaving
the calcium fluoride crystal business
due to insufficient demand for the
product due to lack of progress in
VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:00 Dec 11, 2006 Jkt 211001
targeted markets and technological
developments.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA), the subject worker
group must be certified eligible to apply
for Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).
Since the subject workers are denied
eligibility to apply for TAA, the workers
cannot be certified eligible for ATAA.
Conclusion
After careful reconsideration, I affirm
the original notice of negative
determination of eligibility to apply for
worker adjustment assistance for
workers and former workers of Saint
Gobain Crystals, Solon, Ohio.
Signed at Washington, DC this 6th day of
December 2006.

Swift Textiles, d/b/a/ Swift Galey,
Midland, GA; Notice of Revised
Determination on Reconsideration
By letter dated November 6, 2006, the
subject company requested
administrative reconsideration
regarding the Department’s Negative
Determination Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment
Assistance, applicable to the workers of
the subject firm. The denial was issued
on October 17, 2006. The Department’s
Notice of determination was published
in the Federal Register on November 6,
2006 (71 FR 65004). Workers produce
denim fabric.
The denial was based on the
Department’s findings that the denim
fabric is exported, there was no shift of
production of fabric abroad, and the
subject firm did not import denim
fabric.
The request for reconsideration, dated
November 6, 2006, states that the
subject firm will be closing at the end
of 2006 and alleges that the closure is
due to increased imports.
During the reconsideration
investigation, the Department was
informed that the denim yarn produced
at Swift Galey, Columbus, Georgia (TA–
W–59,234; certified May 22, 2006 based
on import impact from Mexico) was sent
PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\12DEN1.SGM
to Swift Galey, Midland, Georgia to be
finished into denim fabric.
Based on this new information, the
Department has determined that the
subject firm is a downstream producer
to Swift Galey, Columbus, Georgia and
conducted an investigation to determine
whether the subject workers are eligible
to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance (TAA) as workers of a
secondarily-affected firm (a firm that
either supplied component parts for
articles produced by a firm with a
currently TAA-certified worker group or
assembled/finished articles provided by
a firm with a currently TAA-certified
worker group).
In order for the subject workers to be
certified on a secondarily-affected basis,
the following criteria must be met: (1) A
significant number or proportion of the
subject firm separated or threatened
with separations and (2) the subject firm
is a supplier or a downstream producer
to a firm or subdivision that employed
a TAA-certified worker group and such
supply or production is related to the
article that was the basis for the
certification. In the case of downstream
producers, the primary certification
must be based on a shift of production
to Canada or Mexico or import impact
from Canada or Mexico.
Based on previously-submitted
information and information obtained
during the reconsideration
investigation, the Department
determines that Swift Textile, d/b/a/
Swift Galey, Midland, Georgia qualifies
as a secondarily-affected firm.
In accordance with Section 246 the
Trade Act of 1974 (26 U.S.C. 2813), as
amended, the Department herein
presents the results of its investigation
regarding certification of eligibility to
apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment
Assistance (ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue
a certification of eligibility to apply for
ATAA, the group eligibility
requirements of Section 246 of the
Trade Act must be met. The Department
has determined in this case that the
requirements of Section 246 have been
met.
A significant number of workers at the
firm are age 50 or over and possess
skills that are not easily transferable.
Competitive conditions within the
industry are adverse.
Conclusion
After careful review of the
information obtained in the
reconsideration investigation, I
determine that workers of Swift
Textiles, d/b/a/ Swift Galey, Midland,
Georgia, qualify as adversely affected
secondary workers under Section 222 of
12DEN1
